H5 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 If it is an intermittent fault then have you checked all of the connections? Also, try putting the balance all the way to the left and listening to see if it gives you more of a clue. Quote
M13KYF Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 faulty Bose Head unit, it will need replacing, if you are under warranty then you will be covered. moved Quote

I've had mine done under warranty, but if you're replacing it you may as well buy aftermarket. If you want to get hold of a new replacement, try Holdcroft. Quote
Chesterfield Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 The usual bose left speaker problem with the Z is supposed to be a fulty pickup of the laser on the CD head unit. If its happening on radio and on CD then it may point to faulty connection rather than the usual bose problem. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I would get an old speaker and directly wire it to the back of the h/u, at least then you can confirm the problem is in the h/u, then i would take the can off the h/u and check the connections Quote
shire350Z Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 thats another thing u cant just put a after market head unit in as the wiring is all diff and goes to seperate amp so no 1 does a wire and u have to mess about changing all wiring!!!!!!!!!! bloody thing all i want is listen to music not spend a fortune on puttin a whole new system in that many should be goin on styling!!!

Fear not, you can get a little PAC adaptor for not much cash and your aftermarket will play through the delightful BOSE peripherals! Quote
shire350Z Posted November 14, 2007 Author Posted November 14, 2007 yeah heard that off sometime else!! only other prob is that iv got satnav which might effect the lady comin through lol but more importanly heard that the phone def wont work through the speakers so any1 got one for sale??? original head unit bose 6cd in black Quote
Ross Mac Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 It turns out that I am having a similar problem with my non BOSE set up. Noticed today that the left side 'tweeter' does not seem to be working? Ive checked with the balance etc etc and its defo not supplying any sound to the cabin. How do I go about getting the headunit out to check the connections? Also if it is a speaker fault where would I get a replacement one from? I'm not intending on changing my headunit (unless its broken) so would aftermarket speakers make any difference to the sound quality? If so wat ones fit the existing positions with the minumum of fuss? Cheers Ross Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 aftermarket speakers make a big difference the bose ones are pants ! which are an upgrade from the base ones,is it just the tweeter or the speaker aswell ? http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Head_Unit_Installation Quote

You will probably need to pay someone to fit them, as the tweeter mounting behind the mirror is tricky to mount an aftermarket tweeter into. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 rob are they 6" i thought they were 6.5" 17cm ? i would drill a hole and flush mount a new tweeter in the holder http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/front_speakers/ Quote
H5 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 rob are they 6" i thought they were 6.5" 17cm ? i would drill a hole and flush mount a new tweeter in the holder http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/front_speakers/ Well I'm having 6" put in mine, and that's what I think they are bud. If they are 17cm jobbies, then the choice of speaker is drastically smaller. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 i def fitted 6.5" in my rears and on that link above mate it says 6.5" in the front check it out more options on the 6.5" range, i've got somr focal comps to go in the front but i'm waiting for better weather as i cant open the door on the car in my narrow garage Quote

I'm going for some Hertz fronts this time. The Focals last time needed the tweeter taping up when the liquid had warmed up. After half an hour they really hurt my head! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 if you dont use the old speaker ring as a spacer and use mdf spacers then you can fit what ever size you like i suppose i know what your saying about the focal tweeters they can be a bit bright Quote
Ross Mac Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Thanks for the responses guys It just seems to be the tweeter that isnt working - do you think it could be a headunit fault? I'll try it with the radio to see if the same thing happens I'll go to a few audio shops and see how much a set of new speakers will be - can be a new year treat for her!! Will have to see how much money I have left first cos she needs taxed at the end of Jan! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 hmm i'm not sure how they are wired, i doubt they will use crossovers which is the norm with components, so it could well be the tweeter is piggy backed from the door speaker and if so then it definitely isnt a head unit problem, it could be a lose connection either on the tweeter or to where the tweeter connects (the speaker) not that it matters really, if you buy components you will tkae the siganl from the left speaker (which is working) and use a crossover to the tweeter or as in the link above you could fit a speaker that has bass,mid and tweeter built in Quote
xStric9x Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Guess what? i have the same problem to but both front and rear left have an intermitten fault, ie somtimes i brake hard and hey presto its back on ( although the sound doesn't completly disappear). I'm thinking maybe i've just got a bad connection. Quote

I'm thinking maybe i've just got a bad connection. I have a dodgy rear left speaker too ! Sometimes has a life of its own and starts crackling then goes quiet again Ads Quote
